16

Drills

Diamut drills can be used on any type of glass, whether monolithic or laminated.

17

DRB lineThe DRB (Diamut Regular Bond) drill is characterised by consistent performance and durability. Available for CNC, vertical and manual machines, the DRB drill fea-tures a diamond ring measuring 1.2 mm as well as a 3mm channel for removal of water and cutting residues, offering superb drilling quality for all types of machin-ing, for the best balance between quality and accessibility.

18

DrillsHCX lineDedicated to those who seek superior performance, the HCX (Higher Cutting) drill, with a 9mm cut and a diamond ring measuring 0.8 mm (0.9 for diame-ters greater than 41 mm) is an industry leader in terms of cutting capacity, bore quality and tool life. Available for CNC vertical machines, it boasts a dedicated channel design for draining water and glass powder. Available on request with a stainless steel body for increased du-rability over time and higher resistance to the machining stresses. Special pro-duction technology ensures greater forward speeds and less regular dress-ing.

20

Helixmachines: CNC with dedicated software

Applications: furniture, domestic appliances, architecture

The Helix System was born of the desire of both Diamut and Intermac to develop a revolutionary drilling system unlike anything that has been seen on the market to date, capable of drilling holes with integrated upper and lower countersink on sheets of glass up to 19mm thick, using a single tool on CNC machines.

Today's technology obliges operators to use two tools, and does not integrate the lower countersink, as well as requiring different drill bits for different diameter holes. With Helix, the descent of the tool is not longer vertical but occurs helically; it is the radiused part of the tool which enters the glass sheet, and instead of a drilling motion, the glass is ground to create the bore. Once the drilling operation is complete, lateral grinding takes place, which enlarges the bore to the nominal dimensions. Once this phase is complete, the lower and upper countersinking takes place, eliminating all defects.

22

Output checks on finished pieces

The widespread implementation of the Kaizen method across all Biesse Group com-panies has resulted in the application of quality controls to individual products and pro-duction phases, with a view fostering a philosophy of continuous improvement. Fault analysis allows us to anticipate potential defects on catalogue tools and those that are custom-made on request for customers. Extensive prior analysis is also complement-ed by quality controls which are carried out on the tools, and include grinding wheel closure, diamond distribution, hardness and size.Where defects are noted, the tool identification plate can be used to trace it back through each individual stage of the manufacturing process, accounting for about 70% of total information regarding the tool. In parallel, an internal non-compliance report is created, in order to allow us to undertake all necessary corrective actions immediately. In 2014 Diamut revealed internal and external non-compliance levels of 0.06%. If we consider only episodes of non-compliance identified by the customers, this drops fur-ther to 0.01% of total production.

Suppliers of diamond and certified raw materials Diamut selects only the best suppliers of diamond particles and metal powder. Through rigorous certification and careful quality control, the best raw materials are then used to manufacture tools. Result: Superior quality throughout the entire production process

46

Quality excellence

Sintering and brazing The temperature and pressure in the sintering process are closely controlled to guarantee constant repeatability of the product.

Electro-erosion The electroerosion process used on each tool drastically improves profile precision compared with traditional manual grinding. Result: Absolute pro-file precision for all tools.

47

Diamond dressing Each tool is subjected to a diamond dressing process which, using special technol-ogy, makes the tool immediately effective from the very first metres of machining. Result: The tool guarantees excellent standards in machining operations from the very first use.

Grinding wheel balancing Before they are delivered every grinding wheel undergoes balance checks. The bal-ance quality grade required is G=6, which is usually used for high rotation parts and is much higher than the rotation speed required of grinding wheels in the various machining operations. Result: any potential imbalance of tools is eliminated, regardless of the programme in use

Marking individual toolsEach tool produced by Diamut is marked with a serial number so that each product can be traced even years later, allowing customers to establish the exact order date and obtain information on each stage of machining. Result: total traceability of each individual tool and rapid response times when assistance services are required.
